Day 204: Coconut Sriracha Shrimp

Directions:1. In a pot, place the oil with a cooking thermometer in it, or use a deep dryer. Heat oil to 350F2. In a bowl, place the flour and baking powder, salt and pepper and mix3. In a separate bowl, place the coconut with a sprinkle of flour4. In a third bowl, place the egg, beer and sriracha and combine. You can add more sriracha if you like5. Take shrimp, cleaned, and place in flour, and then in beer mixture, and then coconut and set aside. MAKE SURE THE COCONUT IS SOAKED THROUGH BEFORE COOKING6. Fry shrimp according to directions in your fryer, or in the oil until they are brown and cooked all the way though7. Enjoy with more sriracha!

I didn’t let the coconut soak all the way and when you throw it in the oil, it burns, and then the shrimp isn’t cook in the middle. It was a disaster. The crust tasted GREAT though, so if you plan in doing this, use a different recipe, but same idea. It was a VERY good idea, just not done well. This is my first bust…not bad for over half way done with my project. I gave it a 2 because the idea was a good one, and I know I can make these right next time, and I even think the ratios I used are ok, just the oil should be lower, and the coconut moist. Good luck, and sorry!

Beginning August 1, 2009, every day for 365 days (1 year) I will create and cook a new recipe. Be it intricate, time consuming, or tiring, I will do it every day. Why? to push myself, to commit myself, and to create something beautiful, shareable, and hopefully edible...Reminder, i wont be BLOGGING everyday, but i will be cooking every day and posting as often as i can...i would rather be tied to cooking than a computer!
